Lot 25.16

This is one of our mystical Static Cherry lots. It’s our second year producing this way, and this lot is from our community farmer Gash Syoum in Megadu. 

It all started last year with an experiment: could we create a kind of “static” environment by allowing the cherries to rest in the sun for a few hours before anaerobically fermenting them in barrels? Turns out the answer is yes! This special technique creates a beautiful, delicate, and complex cup.

For this lot, we built on what we learned last year to create a slightly more intense cup profile that is tasting delicious. It’s a very limited edition – only two bags from our mill in Taferi Kela and fifteen bags from Megadu. So congrats to the roasters who got this lot! 

Coming soon

Guji Megadu

We are rooted in our communities and committed to building a positive and sustainable future by educating and creating equal opportunity jobs at our own facilities.

By distributing climate-resistant seedlings and providing "learning by doing" programs for children and adults, we facilitate our communities to transform their futures. We are honored to work with local chiefs, community leaders, and smallholder farmers to grow and source our spectacular Bette Buna coffees.

At our farms in Taferi Kela-Sidamo and Guji-Megadu we work closely with our family and neighbours to grow seedlings, rewild coffee forests, and train farmers in methods of growing and processing that create opportunities for everyone in our community.
